Posted June 14, 2011 Picked this up for 2.50 from CEX. It's great fun! Always been more of a Jak fan than a Ratchet fan. Think I got about half way through this and my ps2 broke. Playing through it again now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2011 I adored the original Jak and Daxter game but once it went all GTA I lost interest. I think the Ratchet series is fantastic, I enjoy it more than Mario these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2011 Someone leant me a Ratchet and Clank PS3 game, Tools of Desctruction I believe, and I was really surprised by how bad it was! It has such good reviews but I just cannot grasp why. The controls were clunky, levels were rubbish and linear, it didn't even look particularly good. I could understand it if it came out years and years ago, but it came out almost the same time as Super Mario Galaxy. It has to be the most dumbfounded I have ever been about a highly rated game.

Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry to say this, Shorty, but I'm pretty sure you have no soul! I really don't see how you can think the PS3 Ratchet & Clank games look bad. I guess the gameplay is subjective, though, so I'll give you that, even if I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. :p I adored the original Jak and Daxter game but once it went all GTA I lost interest. Ugh, I agree completely with this. I absolutely loved the first game, but I could barely bring myself to finish the second one. The third game was slightly better, but still nowhere near as good as the first one. I know a lot of people want to see another Jak game, but if it's not going to be like the first one, they shouldn't bother.

Posted June 14, 2011 I played the start of the original round a friend's once; that's all the experience I have with the series though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2011 The Ratchet&Clank series is probably the only series which could get me to buy a Playstation someday once again. I bought 2 and 3 for the PS2, but once I went all NINTENDO, this ,along with the Sly Cooper series which I only played a demo of back in the day, and perhaps Castlevania: Lords of Shadow are the biggest reasons for me to own a PS3. but Ratchet&Clank take the cake; they will always have a place in my heart:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This guy right here makes the Ratchet and Clank series a hoot. He always reminds me of Zapp Brannigan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2011 Jak is such a stunning game trilogy. How it feels like a natural progression in darkness and complexness. The first 3 Ratchets were good, I'm somewhat over everything after the,/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2011 I didn't even play the 3rd one. I did enjoy Daxter on the PSP though. I'm glad to hear you say that, as I own Daxter for the PSP, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. It does seem to be more classic platformer than GTA clone, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 27, 2011 I adored the original Jak and Daxter game but once it went all GTA I lost interest. I think the Ratchet series is fantastic, I enjoy it more than Mario these days. Me too! I loved the original, then got the 2nd & 3rd, but in both of those as much as i enjoyed the story & really wanted to see more of it, the gameplay just seemed to become too much "go to this arbitrary location and possibly do a mundane task" to pad out the story, with the only other option being to wander around & look for sidequests that don't feel like you're progressing. I got the 4th one last year, but have lent out my PS2 so haven't unwrapped it yet. Apparently it's more of a regular platformer again (with an awkward camera).

Posted February 22, 2013 This is the closest I could find to a Ratchet & Clank series thread. Apparently those who are waiting on the Vita cross play of Ratchet & Clank Q-Force will be getting Motorstorm RC and Ratchet: Gladiator. Motorstorm RC is, in my opinion, the best game on the Vita so far. Ratchet: Gladiator is the only R&C game I've never played, so that's good to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 Avoid Gladiator like the plague. Stupid wannabe multiplayer shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 22, 2013 Avoid Gladiator like the plague. Stupid wannabe multiplayer shooter. Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. At least they're giving it for free. They didn't have to give us anything for delaying the Vita version of Q-Force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
